The Florida State Seminoles and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets clash Saturday in week 9 ACC college football action at Doak Campbell Stadium. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets look to get back to a .500 record. The Florida State Seminoles look to snap a 3-game losing streak.

The Yellow Jackets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games in October and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The Seminoles are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The under is 8-1 in Yellow Jackets last 9 games overall. The under is 8-3 in Seminoles last 11 games overall. The Yellow Jackets are 6-0-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

The Florida State Seminoles are the clear better team, and they’re coming off a ridiculously tough schedule, so you can’t be too harsh about these last few games. However, laying more than 3 full touchdowns isn’t what I’m trying to do with an FSU that still has issues finishing drives offensively and can’t stop the run defensively. Yes, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have many things to work on in their own right, but they do find ways to hang around. Six of the yellow Jackets last 10 losses have been decided by 17 or fewer points. It’s Georgia Tech or pass for me.
